Day Frame is a clear, high-contrast watch face with everything big: a huge hour at the top, the minutes in a white frame with dark digits, and icons and digits of about 8% of the screen height. A thin line splits the face in two. Made for people who want to read the watch at a glance, outdoors and without glasses.

  • Weather on the left of the big hour: a moon at night, sun and clouds by day, with the temperature under it.
  • Sunrise until the sun is up, then the coming sunset, and after sunset the next sunrise. One field on the right, always the next event.
  • Heart rate on the left, month and day of the month on the right, battery in days (or percent) at the bottom.
  • Older weather stays on screen with a ~ sign, so you know it is not fresh. Switch on Field labels to see the name of your town under the temperature.
  • The four fields (weather, sun, heart rate, battery) can show any of 32 data types or stay empty: steps, body battery, stress, altitude, pressure, floors, calories, notifications, time zones and more.
  • Data refresh: a profile (More often, Economy, Less often) or your own interval for weather, sensor history, heart rate, steps and battery (sun times: On or Off), with an Off option for each source. The profile lowers how often the face reads data and asks for the weather; the watch sensors keep working. Seconds are off by default. The biggest influence on the battery comes from seconds, backlight, heart rate monitoring and GPS, which the watch controls, so the difference between profiles is usually small.
  • Three sizes of field values, colours for the hour, frame, text, line, icons and battery. Press and hold a field on touch watches to open the matching Garmin screen (heart rate, weather, calendar).
  • MIP screens (Enduro 3, Enduro 2, fenix 7, fenix 8 Solar, Forerunner 255 and 955) use the 64 colour palette and thick lines that read well in the sun. AMOLED watches get an always-on mode: time and date, the whole face dimmed, or the time only, moved a little every minute.
  • Menu in 35 languages, month in your language, 12 or 24 hour time.

All settings are in Garmin Connect (Connect IQ, watch face settings), including own intervals and Off for every data source. On the watch: Customise for the four fields, field value size, data refresh profile, seconds, battery unit, field labels and the always-on screen.

When the watch has no reading, the field shows --. Weather needs the phone connected from time to time.

Permissions and privacy

This product asks the watch for the permissions below. Connect IQ shows them when you install it.

  • Sensor history: Reads recent values stored by the watch (for example Body Battery, stress, heart rate, steps trend).
  • Your profile: Reads your Garmin profile on the watch (for example age, weight, heart rate zones) to calculate values for you.
  • Watch data (complications): Shows data from other watch features, such as battery or steps, on the face.
  • Location (GPS): Uses the watch location for distance, speed or sun and moon times. The location is not sent anywhere.

This product does not use the internet and sends no data to our servers.
